JOB DESCRIPTION:

Abbott is a global health care company, focused on making patients’ lives better for over 130 years. With sales in excess of $30 billion, Abbott is present in 160+ countries worldwide and employs 107,000+ employees. Abbott is made up of 4 business areas: Medical Devices, Nutrition, Diagnostics and Pharmaceuticals.

Abbott Diabetes Care (ADC) is part of the Medical Devices division. ADC designs, develops and manufactures leading-edge blood glucose monitoring technology for use in both home and hospital settings, including our revolutionary Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System. In our Centre of Excellence in Witney, we design, develop and manufacture test strips and biosensors which are used by patients and healthcare professionals for the day-to-day management of diabetes.

ADC have an exciting opportunity for five Student Statisticians to join our Technical Operations and Research & Development teams for a 13 month internship at our manufacturing site in Witney, Oxfordshire. 

Typical work across both of our statistics teams include:

·  Providing statistical support to various different functions across the business, helping to produce statistical outputs and inference for use in presentations and reports.

The ideal candidate will be a proactive individual who takes initiative and is able to work within a team and be comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment.  You will need to have good oral and written communication skills to be able to prepare reports, interpret results, and provide effective summaries.  You must be organised and flexible in your approach to work, with good attention to detail in order to ensure that data and analyses are accurate and meet the requirements of the project. 

Here at Witney, we also support our employees to live life to the fullest – whether it’s joining our couch to 5k team, tending the allotments, learning to be a bee keeper, dropping in for a yoga session, there is plenty going for you to engage with as and when you wish!
